Using ADF for reverse (Even numbered) page scanning

New Here ,
Sep 11, 2021 Sep 11, 2021

I have an HP Deskjet 4152e printer/scanner, and when I use Adobe Acrobat to scan a document to PDF, I use the ADF.  This only gets odd numbered pages.  When it finishes, Acrobat asks if the scan is complete or if I need to scan more pages.  However, it will only scan from the flatbed glass, one page at a time.  I cant get it to recognize the ADF for the reverse pages.  I suspect there is a setting in the printer driver to recognize ADF, but adobe may not be recognizing it.  Does anyone have any ideas?

This behavior is normal for all scanners. You can either scan from the flatbed or ADF not from both in a single scan job. If your scanner doesn't support duplex scanning from ADF you have to flip the pages manually and scan the backsides in a second step. In Acrobat you then can reorder the pages.

That's what I'm trying to do.  After scanning the odd numbered pages, take the group and flip it, then reload into the ADF.  Click the Continue scan button, and poof!  Blank page from the flatbed.

I don't own this particular device, so I can't say if this is the normal behavior of it or not. 

Just make two separate scans and then combine the resultiung PDFs with Acrobat.
